The Post-cold War International System Of Strategic Research

In the post cold war era, China's International Institution Strategy has two dimensions. One is a System Structural Strategy and the other is System Process Strategy . These strategies based on the theory that the role of the international institution can be divided into structural role and progressive role.The neo-realists believe the international institution is a part of hegemonic power, is an instrument to maintain or expand hegemonic power and only serves for the benefit of hegemonic state. This paper will define it as "a structural role". However, the neo-liberalists and constructivists insist the international institution should maintain cooperation among the nations and serves for common benefits of whole states. This paper will define it as "a process role".The ways of recognizing these two roles of the international institution make different International Institution Strategy. If a state recognizes negative identity about a structural role, then it will try to challenge or change current international institution and take System Structural Strategy. If a state recognizes positive identity about a process role, then it will try to maintain and preserve current international institution and take System Process Strategy.Since the foundation of New China, because Mao's time recognized negative identity about a structural role of the international institution, China took System Structural Strategy and had been tried to challenge or revolt the international institution which is builded and ruled by capitalism states. After Mao, because Deng's time started to take the reform and open policy and pursue economic development, China in this era first recognized positive identity about process role of the international institution and tried to participate in and make use of it.These historical changes of China's International Institution Strategy still affected China in the post cold war. In other words, the features of System Structural Strategy and System Process Strategy coexist in the Jiang's time and Hu's time.First, the summary of International Institution Strategy in the whole world as follows; In Jiang's time, China's International Institution Strategy was based on the System Structural Strategy. China tried to introduce new world order and multipolarize the world. The collapse of Soviet Union gave huge changes in the international system. US became a super power and the shape of world order was quickly moved into unipolar system. Thus, it became extremely important to find a countermeasure for upcoming super power. China recognized negative identity about structural role of the international institution. Therefore, it became China's main strategy to reform existing unfair, unequal and irrational world order and international institution.In Hu's time, China's International Institution Strategy was based on the System Process Strategy. China takes the strategies to erect harmony world and democratize international relation. In the 21^st century, as China gradually forms a grate state, there is a huge demand that China should take the duty and the responsibility in the international community. Moreover, China has to build peaceful state image because there has been lasting 'China threat theory' in the international community since 90s. As a result, the System Process Strategy became China's main International Institution Strategy.Second, there are two different International Institution Strategies in the East Asia; the System Structural Strategy for cooperation of national security and the System Process Strategy for international economic cooperation. The regional cooperation for national security aims to check and balance the US and its ally's dominant security system in this area. It shows features of system structural strategy that has a restraining influence on hegemonic state. The regional economic cooperation is to form a single huge free trade market in the region, at last realize regional economic integration. It is typical features of system process strategy that emphasize process role in the international institution.In conclusion, in the post cold war era, China's International Institution Strategy has both System Structural Strategy and System Process Strategy. However, these two strategies may be resulted in System Process Strategy afterward because China has to go under the progress of peaceful development.
